It is perfect!: Your bmi is normal! so go ahead with your plans. But eat healthy during pregnancy so that you do not gain more than 15-20 pounds over 9 months.

You are perfect!: Bmi of 22 is the ideal bmi based on health insurance charts. Too low is less than 18. Good luck! have a great, healthy pregnancy!
